That's a freefall lifeboat, used on bulk carriers and rigs. It's designed to release almost instantly on rapidly sinking vessels and platforms, where standard lifeboats would take too long to launch.
Big Water. Buoyancy is a lie propagated by corporations, just look at places like the Dead Sea (why is it called that? To dissuade people from traveling there and finding the truth, of course)

That inside shot is also just what it's like on a lifeboat in the water in a pretty calm sea. Those things roll like a motherfucker.

If you're trying to eat a meal on a table dressed in elf outfits when you drop off the boat, the consequences are entirely your own fault.

Serious question.. do they have seatbelts in those things?
Melonfish
Yes, because you cannot throw up inside, well, not always, sometimes you throw sideways, throw down, diagonally etc etc.
WateryTartan
I'd sure as hell hope so!
ossipetz
yes. even head-straps. all tight up. cause they might do a looping depending on the weather conditions.

Yeah, I just looked on youtube and there's a bunch of inside videos. Surprisingly, it looks fairly smooth (most of the time).
